Hey guys, first of all… Moving a Docbase is different from Copying a Docbase.. when you move a Docbase, you need to keep the repository/docbase name, ID and owner the same. Now dm_developer site covers most of the procedure..

7. Take a back-up of the dbpasswd.txt file for each of the repositories on the target content server.
Path: $DOCUMENTUM\dba\config\<repository name>

8. Re-encrypt the dbpasswd.txt file for each of the repository on target as follows:
Execute the following command from the following location on target content server machine through command prompt.
$DM_HOME\bin

==========================================================================
The following should be checked:
a) The target(cloned) repository should be made on a different content server machine than the source repository
b) The target(cloned) Docbase name should be the same as that of the source repository
c) The target(cloned) DocBase ID should be the same as that of the source repository
d) The target(cloned) DocBase owner ( i.e. database owner) should be the same as that of the source repository
e) The target(cloned) DocBase Installation Owner should be the same as that of the source repository
f) The Database instance used by the target (cloned) repository should be different from the Database instance used by source repository.
g) The target (cloned) repository should be made on a content server installation version same as that of the source repository.
h) The target (cloned) repository should project to a DocBroker different from the DocBroker used by the source repository.
i) The Database owner name/password for the existing repository on the target content server machine must be known.
===========================================================================

Production Application is running on 2 solaris boxes which are in Active-Passive mode and having a common Repository on NAS. And Clone setup is on one solaris setup.
I have installed the Documentum softwares(WP,DA) on Target and Webpublisher,Administrator, are running over the tomcat.Also I have created docbase/docbroker with user,group same as production.
Also Blog saying that transfer below files from production to Target
checkpass.cfg and dm_check_audit_pws. But production does not having thease files on $Documentum/dba/config/docbasename/ location.
Is it mandatory or not?

So what ponits should take care for creating clone setup?.

Please reply I’m waiting.

hi!
after doing this process of clonning, records (in the target) will keep the r_object_ids from the host??? becouse my applications need the original r_object_id to work correctly.
thanks
